A New Pakistan

It’s been 65 years since Islamic Republic of Pakistan is on
the face of earth and from day first slogans of new and better Pakistan &
revolution is being chanted by Politicians, Dictators, Religious Scholars and
many more. The efforts of all of them to create a new Pakistan were fruitful in
1971 when they succeeded in separating East Pakistan from West Pakistan and
hence a new Pakistan was created.

Every new day a juggler wakes up and tells masses that he /
she is going either going to build a new Pakistan or going to bring a
revolution and I am unable to understand few things in this regard:

Why a new Pakistan?

What’s so wrong with this Pakistan?

What’s so special will the
new Pakistan provide to us?

What do the mean by
revolution?

What will be the plan of
action for the revolution?

What will happen after
revolution?

New Pakistan and revolution have become popular and
enchanting slogans to attract masses and we get attracted too. Political
parties spend years in government and when next election comes, they start
talking about building a new Pakistan and revolution. Why they can’t build a
new Pakistan or bring revolution in those five years when they were having
power and resources? Leaders impose self exile on them and move to western
countries to make money, after a decade when they come back, they start talking
about a new Pakistan and revolution. Why they didn’t think about this before
leaving the country? Some Leaders become western nationals and don’t visit
Pakistan for years but start talking about building a new Pakistan and
revolution by sitting miles away from this homeland. Dictators spend decades in
government and when they leave, they start talking about building a new
Pakistan and revolution. Religious parties, civil society and many more beat
the same trumpet. All of them talk about these two matters but they never
highlight any agenda or approach that how will they build a new Pakistan or
bring revolution. This slogan has become a popular way to attract people for coming
into power and then after taking charge of government the balloon of dreams
burst. Then all the promises of new Pakistan and revolution become a past story
and miserable life for the masses starts again.

All of them should stop chanting these slogans. They should
stop misleading the masses and should start portraying the true picture of them
and of this country. If they want to build a new Pakistan just as they did in
1971 then we are happy with this Pakistan and we don’t need a new Pakistan.
